My dear Sir

It was very kind of you to send me the two articles; but it so happens that I had seen both. I did not think much of Zockler’s as it appeared to me like a mere robbery of your book. The article in the Revue seemed to me very nicely done.—¹

My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin

There have been many interesting articles of late in Kosmos; & this reminds me to say, what I had intended before to say, that I ought to pay for this Journal. It is not fair to the Publisher that I sh^d. go on receiving them gratuitously.—² Will you give him my cordial & sincere thanks for his kindness, & ask him to send me a memorandum of cost for the current & next year, & I will send cheque for both.—

C.D

P.S. I have not yet heard from M^r. Murray whether there is any profit from your Book, but ‘vehementer dubito’.³
